Does anybody know anything about buying properties through the tax auction? I've never tried it myself but sent in my deposit just before the re offer auction deadline last Friday. I've heard of people getting pretty good deals through the auction but I've also heard horror stories about people thinking they bought a building only to find out they bought an empty lot.
When I search on the auction site for properties in Trona by name none come up but I recall in the past hearing that the first few digits of the parcel number correspond to the area. Does anyone know which ones correspond to Trona, Pioneer Point and Argus? I also need to know how to figure out the address or physical location of the parcel numbers and learn the proper way to do due diligence.
It seems like this is going to be impossible, especially since the auction starts in just a few days, without somebody to mentor me through the process but I'm going to give it my best shot.
This all started when a friend of mine was buying lottery tickets and me telling him that if I'm going to take a gamble that it was going to be on something that the odds were in my favor. That night I thought about it and decided to register for the property tax re offer auction and that even though I don't know enough about it I think it's a whole lot better than my friend buying lottery tickets.
Any good advise would be greatly appreciated.
